I've seen these up close and personal and they are actually pretty cool, seems like they have some new design features on the inside of the boot. If they didn't have all the stupid markings on them I would maybe get a pair. I like my 2008 Booters though.

I never understood the pricing difference between the fulltilts (at least with the exception of this year with the new shell)

Why the fuck would I pay more (noticeably) for seth's boot when I can get a first chair or konflict for the same price if not cheaper.

People spend a lot of money to look good.

There are a couple differences. Not really worth the large price differences IMO, but they exist.

Liner: The more expensive boots have the Pro liner I believe. I'm not too knowledgeable about what makes it better but apparently it is a higher quality liner.

Buckles: Cheaper Full Tilts have plastic buckles which are prone to cracking, while more expensive boots have buckles made of aluminum.

Bootboards: This one doesn't seem to correspond with price, but it is a difference between boots. Some boots have a rubber bootboard for impact absorption while others have a rigid plastic bootboard.

Soles: Full Tilt recently introduced replaceable rubber soles on the more expensive boots, which is pretty cool because if your sole wears out you can buy a new sole instead of shelling out for a new shell. (ha)

Then there are cable covers, but who gives a shit about those.

It's not a Booter at all. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. The booter has a way lower cuff and a less tech footbed. These are actually really great boots but they are ugly as all hell.

All these things are worth the adds but I have a hard time seeing how the classic which probably has the lowest level tier of these things is 230 bucks cheaper than the seths. Let alone the 80 dollar difference between the seths and the first chair (I don't think anything changes besides the boot board). But w/e, they seem to sell so good for them making money off of kids who pay for paint.
